Bought a 05 c230k, how did I do.

So this weekend I decided to celebrate Memorial Day weekend by buying myself a 05 c230k with the following package:

-black
-leather inserts
-5 speed auto
-dvd command (my salesperson said I'm the first in the west coast, yay)
-6 disc cd changer
-power seats
-lighting package
-sunroof package

I paid 34620, which includes the C Spot 1500 discount. In addition I bought the extended warrenty just to be safe, 7yrs/100k for 2300. Is that a good deal? Any response would be greatly appreciated.

According to MBUSA, a car with those options would be $36,570. Minus the C spot discount and that brings it to $35,070. So the dealer knocked off $450. Not a huge savings, but still pretty good considering the 05s have just come out.

As for the extended warranty, I'm not an extended warranty fan so IMO, it's $2,300 down the drain. But if it makes you feel more secure, then that's fine.

Hi all, thanks for the all the replies. I will definitely post some Nav pics when I get my digicam back. Also, I'll write a little nav review at that time too. Thanks

coppermine-
Not bad on the price, I picked up my '05 for $31,965 + TTL, my car is black with leather inserts, Lighting Package, Sunroof Package, Comfort Package, Heated Seats and the 6 Disc changer.

I'd like to see some pics of the NAV system as well, I was about to get NAV but opted for a car with Xenons instead of a non-Xenon car with NAV.

Enjoy the car!

I don't like extended warranties in general. Statistically, I think they are a bad investment. But that's just my take on it, and I would never advise someone not to buy one. We each have to make that decision for ourselves.
